PLAYA PACKING (2002)
You really can't imagine how much stuff you need to bring to survive a week (with any degree of comfort) in the Nevada desert until you've started to put it together. You have to bring EVERYTHING - the nearest superstore is 100 miles away in Reno and there's virtually nothing in between.
Sharing your packing list is a tradition with many Burners and the ones I found online were invaluable. Here's my 2002 list:
